Default Adelaide and Pearl

Were Adelaide and Pearl live-in maids or they leave the Drummond's penthouse in the evening? I know Mrs. Garrett was a live-in maid but the other two??

I always assumed they lived there as well. After all, they did have that "servant's bedroom" downstairs near the kitchen.

She had a recurring role on Dukes of Hazard at the time she was appearing on Different Strokes. Her last episode as the maid was in season 4 episode Short but Sweet. Her last appearance on DS was Mr. Drummond's wedding

I think I read somewhere that the actress that played her (Nedra Volz) left so she could star in Filthy Rich.

But she had to take a permanent character role on Filthy Rich over a occasional role on DS

Just looked at the opening credits and discovered that's where the woman who played maggie on DS came from lol Adelaide was also in the opening credits so her move to leave made sense
